This is a NTLM correct behaviour: it happens also on Windows clients
non joined to a domain.
Correctly Internet Explorer displays a login dialog box with three
fields (username, password and domain) for NTLM authentication, while
Firefox displays always a two fields dialog box for both basic and
NTLM authentication.

This is a Client side problem, not a server side problem: It's the
client that fills the domain field of the NTLM request with the local
machine name. I don't know if it's possible to set the default NTLM
domain used for authentication on the Linux client.
